You're making me sparinoid too.  Did you understand how it's possible to 
know if failure occurs on the lower four digits vs the upper three + 
checksum digit?  I didn't understand that at all except for 
understanding why it dramatically reduces the number of combinations to 
be tried to brute force the PIN.
